Before you do anything else
Go to NPF, Bassets Pole.
Chat to some of the walk-on / tourney guys and also ask to try out a marker or three.
definately do that. if im at a supair sunday then you can test my ego 08. other then that take your pick of the 100s of angels they have knocking around
most important is goggles. get a top notch set *some nice cheap ones on the forums* and save yourself alot of hassle in the future
halo b is about £45 from the forums, very decent loader for the money. air bottle, make sure you get a fibre wrapped not a steel as you'll just end up spending more cash in a couple months when you feel the weight difference between the 2
marker.. more tricky because everyone has a favourite. ions are good for the price, you can get a tricked out ion for around £150, pmr, slg around the same price. spend abit more (£200ish) and get a mini or etek. up to you. for ion tech support (if you go down that route) then warped sports in wolverhampton isnt far away and they are qualified smart parts techs. also if you choose planet eclipse (etek/ego) then phoenix in cannock are probably the most local techs, alternatively planet eclipse are only in manchester so its not far
. angel are based in birmingham near star city so again if you have any problems they can sort you if you buy angel (that or go to bassetts pole and ask gurkha)
need any help with value for money when buying then just ask.
